Yuck: You can't beat my pants! Thanks to Yin they're in a very naughty mood.

Anvilicious: Mocked with The Lesson, a villainhero who tries to hammer home aesops into people's heads (mostly Yang) with little success because even the people who agree with him (Yin) think he's an out-of-touch, overbearing jerk.

Base-Breaking Character: Coop. Oh hippity hop me hard, Coop. Opinions on this poor chicken is always one or the other, and never in-between. On one hand are those who think his antics make him awkward and endearing and want him to be Yin's love interest. On the other hand, there are those who despise him for being absolutely annoying because of his Stalker with a Crush tendencies during the first season and the fact that majority of the fanbase find Yuck to be a much better match for Yin than he will ever be.

In "Falling Yin Love", they even kiss each other and when Yin claims she "wants to be close to him" only to drain his Woo Foo with the same gloves he used on her he looks pretty happy and smiles.

There's also the fact that he always seems to be involving Yin in some way in his plans. This especially happens in "Falling Yin Love" but there's also "Camp Magic Pants" where he devises for Yin to become evil by using her magic for wrong purposes so she can touch the golden pants statue and allow him to control it; even so, he jokingly thanks her.

There seems to be some on Yin's side as well, especially considering her interest in bad boys. In "Falling Yin Love", after Brett is revealed to be Yuck in disguise she seems heartbroken.

The Night Master, whose plans usually only fail because he's Surrounded by Idiots, but pulls off a number of successful schemes.

Yuck's plan in Camp Magic Pants has shades of this:

First, he possesses the body of the headmaster of the camp, taking control of it and sending out a messenger to invite Yin and Yang there.

Next, he puts the twins in separate cabins so Yin could become infatuated with Terry Otter who happens to be another pawn to the plan to make Yin use her magic for bad purposes.

Lastly comes the games which he purposely sets up to have Yin cheat, making her entirely naughty enough to touch the golden pants statue. This is when Yuck reveals himself and takes the golden pants for himself without being known until the end. He still lost but it was a pretty elaborate plan.

Moral Event Horizon: Ultimoose once he becomes the Nightmooster in "Deja Foo": he not only destroys the entire town but he kills Master Yo and Yin by burning them to death; to add insult to injury, he does it right in front of Yang.

Popularity Polynomial: Not the show itself but the character Smoke has recently gained a large number of fanart (most of them NSFW-ish) on sites like Deviantart and Tumblr.

Ron the Death Eater: Lina at times get's this treatment: although she's simply a Tsun Dere character with a sassy personality, she's a generally nice girl and helps her friends in saving the world later; but to the fans, she is a selfish, uncaring bitch who wants Yang all to herself. Fanfictions often depict her as a terrible girlfriend, making sure that Yang's romance with the writer's Relationship Sue can occur with Lina out of the way.

Self-Fanservice: Yin receives plenty of fanart depicting her as a well endowed teenage girl in skimpy or tight clothing; this mostly started to spring up after her Plot-Relevant Age-Up in one episode where she becomes an attractive teenager.

Yang and Carl are stuck together and an ersatz version of the theme to The Odd Couple plays.

There's a chase scene wherein the music is a near-miss of "Yakety Sax".

In "Finding Hershel", as Yin and Yang watch Hershel there's a Jimmy Hart version of "Spanish Flea" playing.

Unintentionally Sympathetic: "Welcome to the Dark Tomorrow" plays off Yang as being completely in the wrong for his role in the resurrection of Eradicus... completely skimming over the fact that he was manipulated into it by Eradicus' own minions posing as elder Woo Foo spirits with a mission to prevent the catastrophe. Not to mention that the supposed importance of their mission was hammered into Yang's head through the Family-Unfriendly Deaths of his mentor and sister, which he was forced to watch, so while it was partially motivated by selfishness in wanting the glory of being a hero, he was also trying to save their lives.

They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: Ever since the first episode he appeared in, fans instantly loved Yuck to the point they wanted him to be a part of the main cast or at least be involved in far more episodes; though he isn't entirely wasted, out of the fairly lengthy seasons, he only appears in six total.

Yuck in "Upstanding Yuck". All he wanted was to make friends with Yin and Yang and to prove he had became a good person. Throughout most of the episode, he suffers beatings from Yin and Yang without once getting mad at them. It's only until the end that he cracks and goes back to his evil ways. Still, you can't help but feel bad for him.

Yin and Yang are also this in "The Confidence Game" where the majority of the episode has the two of them being horribly beaten by Eradicus and his Quirky Mini Boss Squad in a week long losing streak: they are at least 11 or 12 years old and their enemies are obviously older than them; also, the latter group seem to have an unsettling joy in beating the former.

And then their master and father figure fakes his death in front of them to force them to fight for themselves. Poor kids can't catch a break!
